kenshomi Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 I have used hot sauce oil fopr a number of years- if its leaking out you used to much. reopen you reel wipe off the excess and that should do the trick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snooterfish Posted March 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 guys all i put on the bearrings was one drop of oil and very little grease on the gears. i've always heard "grease the gears and oil the bearrings" snooterfish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clamboni Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 That's what you're supposed to do. might just be a little extra, it definitely sounds like it's leaking. Get the excess off if you don't want pink reels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the bearings already had oil, it could be displacing the Hot Sauce. If they were clean and dry, one drop should do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
